Great ambiance as always with this place but some how the tall Asian lady that seated us a bit confused about us not sitting at a place we asked for outside. She said it was closed and they're not gonna open it today but yet they're sitting people.

We came to this place a few times before loved the peaceful and relaxing outdoor water vibes. This time we came to celebrate my little coton (de tulear) baby's 2 year old birthday. This is his first time coming here. But he quickly got used to it and apparently liked the place. Our Labrador was very happy to come back here. There is plenty of space around the creek and in between the tables our dogs can comfortably settle here and just enjoy it. They even have Saturday live music, which is a huge bonus point. The food is good here. But I'd say people come here for the ambiance first, food is secondary. My favorite thing this time was the coconut shrimp. It's super tender inside and crispy outside highly recommend! The service is very attentive too. Will definitely come back.

I met some coworkers here for dinner recently and we really liked it. Its a bit annoying that everything has to be done through their app - the menu, ordering and paying - but overall we figured it out. I guess its way to have less staff. We basically ordered almost the whole appetizer menu, some dishes more than once. We really enjoyed everything. Nothing was bad. BAVARIAN PRETZEL: house-made 3 cheese sauce, served warm BRUSSEL SPROUTS: flash-fried, gochujang aioli, fleur de sel STREET TACOS: carnitas, salsa verde, cilantro, cotija, & onion -AND- aciote chicken w/cilantro, cotija, achiote sauce QUESO FUNDIDO: three cheeses melted with bell peppers, red onion, chorizo & chipotle topped with cotija & cilantro, served with tortilla chips. ADULT CHICKEN STRIPS: breaded deep fried chicken strips with bbq sauce and ranch Potater Tot Salad: crispy tots lightly tossed in truck stop dressing, bacon, cornichons, diced celery & red onion, green onion The pretzel was once of my favs. The fundido was so yummy. Loved it all. Really good food with a nice atmosphere. Definitely want to go back in warmer weather to sit outside in their cool outdoor area.

Yum! Came here last night and sat outside. The outside area, while being pretty, had a casual and kind of unkept vibe. I wouldn't come here if I was looking for a fancy ambiance. But it was nice! They had heaters which helped with the brisk wind. The food came fast and was delicious. And their drinks are really fun (though my pineapple mojito was all mojito and no pineapple). It's pricey, so I wouldn't come here often, but I'm still glad I came.

10/10 recommend! Bring your dog! And if you don't have one come admire other people's pooches! Seriously this place is outdoor magic with the little creek running through the outdoor area and live music to set the ambiance. The staff here are also the nicest I've ever encountered. On our way out each of them waved us goodbye, it felt so sincerely nice! We ordered the limeade frost pitcher, the burger, the queso fundido, and the ribs. The lime frost was tasty but a little sweet for my liking. The burger was so juicy and came on a fluffy golden brioche bun. It was a little tall to bite into so I had to cut in half and squeeze it but ended up eating with a fork instead. The ribs came with a side of pickles, coleslaw, potato salad, and fries! Cole slaw was creamy and crunchy. The highlight for me was definitely the queso fundido, perfect finger food to accompany beer on a warm summers day. We took our pooch here for his birthday and even got him a tasty puppy patty. He was so happy and even nested in the little pillows of greenery along the creek. My dog usually has a bit of anxiety when we take him out for food in public but here he was so calm and relaxed by the water. I cannot get enough of the hospitality here, great food, and excellent environment dedicated to our furry friends!

This is the place to go for ambiance! The outdoor garden area is gorgeous with a charming creek running through the middle. Super dog friendly (hence the name) they even have a menu for dogs. It is also the place to go for burgers and beer. The burgers were big, beautiful juicy looking works of art. We had the ahi tostada appetizer that was a 6 out of 10- too much ginger. My salmon main course was a 5 out of 10. Very ordinary with quinoa and green beans and a mystery red sauce. I had pineapple mule that only had the faintest hint of pineapple. The ordering is all done via your phone with an app (it didn't work great). We will be back, but now we know: stick with the burgers and beer.
